Cilantro Pesto

Method

Base

  1. 1

    Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the corn tostadas with olive oil on both sides and toast them in the skillet until crisp and warmed through, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Vegetables

  1. 2

    In the same skillet, add a touch more olive oil if needed and sauté the zucchini slices until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 4-5 minutes.

Cuitlacoche

  1. 4

    Stir in the cuitlacoche with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and fragrant.

Cilantro Pesto

  1. 5

    Gently warm the cilantro pesto in a small pan or microwave until just warm, so it drizzles easily over the tostadas.

Assemble

  1. 6

    Place the toasted tostadas on plates.

  2. 7

    Top each with a layer of sautéed zucchini and mushrooms, followed by a generous spoonful of cuitlacoche.

  3. 8

    Drizzle cilantro pesto over the top of each tostada and finish with a pinch of salt if desired. Serve immediately.
